Panasonic Opening Up Viera Connect TV Service to Application Developers

Panasonic is opening up its Viera Connect cloud-based TV service for developers to create IPTV applications for the worldwide platform.

Hollywood Reporter - “Because of the popularity of Actvila in Japan [the country’s leading IPTV portal, launched in 2007], the Viera Connect platform isn’t being released in the domestic market,” a Panasonic spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter.

Actvila is operated by a consortium of major Japanese TV manufacturers, consisting of Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, Sharp, and Hitachi.
